Chemigation: Do not apply this produc t through any type of irrigation system. PRODUCT INFORMATION Evik DF controls most annual broadleaf and grass weeds (see list under each crop). When applied before weed emergence, Evik DF kills weeds as they germinate by entering roots. On existing weeds, it is effective through leaf contact.

Evik DF Page 8 x Fields with difficult to control weeds should be planted in rotation with crops that allow the use of herbicides with an alternative mode of action or different management practices. x Difficult to control weeds may require sequential applications, such as a broad spectrum preemergence herbicide followed by one or more postemergence herbicide applications. Utilize herbicides containing different modes of action effective on the target weeds in sequential applications. Do not overuse the technology x Do not use more than two applications of this or any other herbicide with the same mode of action in a single growing season unless mixed with an herbicide with a different mode of action which provides overlapping spectrum for the difficult to control weeds. Scout and inspect fields following application x Prevent an influx of weeds into the field by controlling weeds in field borders. x Scout fields after application to verify that the treatment was effective. x Suspected- herbicide resistant weeds may be identified by these indicators • Failure to control a weed species normally controlled by the herbicide at the dose applied, especially if control is achieved on adjacent weeds; • A spreading patch of non-controlled plants of a particular weed species; and • Surviving plants mixed with controlled individuals of the same species. x Report non-performance of this product to your Syngenta retailer, Syngenta representative, or call 1-866-Syngent(a) (866-796-4368). If resistance is suspected ensure weed escapes are controlled using an herbicide with an effective mode of action and/or use non-chemical means to prevent further seed production. Prevent weed escapes before, during, and after harvest x Do not allow weed escapes to produce seed or vegetative structures such as tubers or stolons which contribute to spread and survival. Consider harvest weed seed management and control weeds post-harvest to prevent seed production. Resistant Weeds x Contact your local Syngenta representative, retailer, crop advisor or extension agent to determine if weeds resistant to this mode of action are present in your area. If resistant biotypes have been reported, use the full labeled rate of this product, apply at the labeled timing, and tank-mix with a different mode of action product so there are multiple effective modes of application for each suspected resistant weed.

Evik DF Page 9 APPLICATION PROCEDURES Equipment – All aerial and ground application equipment must be properly maintained and calibrated using appropriate carriers or surrogates. Other State and Local Requirements – Applicators must follow all state and local pesticide drift requirements regarding application of ametryn. Where states have more stringent regulations, they must be observed. Ground application: Use conventional ground sprayers equipped with nozzles that provide accurate and uniform application. Be certain that nozzles are uniformly spaced and the same size. Calibrate sprayer before use and recalibrate at the start of each season and when changing carriers. Use a pump with capacity to: (1) maintain specified psi at nozzles as recommended by the nozzle manufacturer, (2) provide sufficient agitation in tank to keep mixture in suspension, and (3) to provide a minimum of 20% bypass at all times. Use centrifugal pumps which provide propeller shear action for dispersing and mixing this product. The pump should provide a minimum of 10 gal/minute/100 gal tank size circulated through a correctly positioned sparger tube or jets. Use screens to protect the pump and to prevent nozzles from clogging. Screens placed on the suction side of the pump should be 16-mesh or coarser. Do not place a screen in the recirculation line. Use 50-mesh or coarser screens between the pump and boom, and where required, at the nozzles. Check nozzle manufacturer’s recommendations. For band applications, calculate amount to be applied per acre as follows: band width in inches X broadcast rate = amount needed row width in inches per acre per acre of field Aerial application: Use aerial application only where specified in the use directions. Avoid applications under conditions where uniform coverage cannot be obtained or where excessive spray drift may occur. Avoid application to humans or animals. Flagmen and loaders need to avoid inhalation of spray mist and prolonged contact with skin. Note: Aerial application is prohibited except for use on sugarcane in Florida. Mandatory Spray Drift Management Aerial Applications: x Do not release spray at a height greater than 10 ft. above the ground or vegetative canopy, unless a greater application height is necessary for pilot safety. x Applicators are required to use a Medium or coarser droplet size (ASABE S572.1).

Evik DF Page 10 x Applicators must use ½ swath displacement upwind at the downwind edge of the field. x Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 10 mph at the application site. x The boom length must be 75% or less of the wingspan for fixed-wing aircraft and 90% or less of the rotor diameter for helicopters. x Do not apply during temperature inversions. Ground Boom Applications: x User must only apply with the release height recommended by the manufacturer, but no more than 4 feet above the ground or crop canopy. x Applicators are required to use a Medium or coarser droplet size (ASABE S572.1). x Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 10 miles per hour at the application site. x Do not apply during temperature inversions. SPRAY DRIFT ADVISORIES THE APPLICATOR IS RESPONSIBLE FOR AVOIDING OFF-SITE SPRAY DRIFT. BE AWARE OF NEARBY NON-TARGET SITES AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS. IMPORTANCE OF DROPLET SIZE An effective way to reduce spray drift is to apply large droplets. Use the largest droplets that provide target pest control. While applying larger droplets will reduce spray drift, the potential for drift will be greater if applications are made improperly or under unfavorable environmental conditions. Controlling Droplet Size – Ground Boom x Volume - Increasing the spray volume so that larger droplets are produced will reduce spray drift. Use the highest practical spray volume for the application. If a greater spray volume is needed, consider using a nozzle with a higher flow rate. x Pressure - Use the lowest spray pressure recommended for the nozzle to produce the target spray volume and droplet size. x Spray Nozzle - Use a spray nozzle that is designed for the intended application. Consider using nozzles designed to reduce drift. Controlling Droplet Size – Aircraft x Adjust Nozzles - Follow nozzle manufacturer’s recommendations for setting up nozzles. Generally, to reduce fine droplets, nozzles should be oriented parallel with the airflow in flight. BOOM HEIGHT – Ground Boom For ground equipment, the boom should remain level with the crop and have minimal bounce. RELEASE HEIGHT - Aircraft Higher release heights increase the potential for spray drift.

Evik DF Page 11 SHIELDED SPRAYERS Shielding the boom or individual nozzles can reduce spray drift. Consider using shielded sprayers. Verify that the shields are not interfering with the uniform deposition of the spray on the target area. TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY When making applications in hot and dry conditions, use larger droplets to reduce effects of evaporation. TEMPERATURE INVERSIONS Drift potential is high during a temperature inversion. Temperature inversions are characterized by increasing temperature with altitude and are common on nights with limited cloud cover and light to no wind. The presence of an inversion can be indicated by ground fog or by the movement of smoke from a ground source or an aircraft smoke generator. Smoke that layers and moves laterally in a concentrated cloud (under low wind conditions) indicates an inversion, while smoke that moves upward and rapidly dissipates indicates good vertical air mixing. Avoid applications during temperature inversions. WIND Drift potential generally increases with wind speed. AVOID APPLICATIONS DURING GUSTY WIND CONDITIONS. Applicators need to be familiar with local wind patterns and terrain that could affect spray drift. Handheld Technology Applications: x Take precautions to minimize spray drift. MIXING PROCEDURES All Uses: (1) Be sure sprayer is clean and not contaminated with any other materials, or crop injury or sprayer clogging may result. (2) Fill tank ¼ full with clean water or nitrogen solution (may be used in corn). (3) Start agitation. (4) Be certain that the agitation system is working properly and creates a rippling or rolling action on the liquid surface. (5) Make a slurry by adding Evik DF to a small amount of water in a separate container and pour slurry into tank. (6) Continue filling tank until 90% full. Increase agitation if necessary to maintain surface action. (7) Add tank mix herbicide(s) after this product is thoroughly suspended. (8) Finish filling tank. Maintain agitation to avoid separation of materials. (9) Empty tank as completely as possible before refilling to prevent buildup of emulsifiable concentrate residue from possible tank mix herbicides. (10) If an emulsifiable concentrate film starts to build up in tank, drain it and clean with strong detergent solution or solvent. (11) Clean sprayer thoroughly immediately after use by flushing system with water containing a detergent. Compatibility Test: Nitrogen solutions may replace all or part of the water in the spray in corn. Since nitrogen solutions can vary, even within the same analysis, check

Evik DF Page 12 compatibility each time before use. Commercial application equipment may improve compatibility in some instances. The following test assumes a spray volume of 25 gal/A. For other spray volumes, make appropriate changes in the ingredients. Check compatibility using this procedure.

1. Add 1 pt of fertilizer to each of 2 one-qt jars with tight lids.
2. To one of the jars, add ¼ tsp or 1.2 milliliters of a compatibility agent approved for this use (¼ tsp is equivalent to 2 pt/100 gal spray). Shake or stir gently to mix. Examples of compatibility agents include Compex® and Unite®.
3. To both jars, add 1.4 teaspoons of Evik DF for each pound per acre to be applied.
4. After adding all ingredients, put lids on and tighten, and invert each jar 10 times to mix. Let the mixtures stand 15 minutes and then look for separation, large flakes, precipitates, gels, heavy oily film on the jar, or other signs of incompatibility. Determine if the compatibility agent is needed in the spray mixture by comparing jars. If either mixture separates, but can be remixed readily, the mixture can be sprayed as long as good agitation is used. If the mixtures are incompatible, try slurrying the Evik DF in water before addition. If still incompatible, do not use the nitrogen solution and Evik DF in the same spray tank. CROP USE DIRECTIONS Corn (Field Corn, Popcorn) Evik DF controls annual broadleaf and grass weeds including Texas panicum (Texas millet), fall panicum, signalgrass (Brachiaria spp.), goosegrass, crabgrass, barnyardgrass, giant foxtail, yellow and green foxtails, cocklebur, lambsquarters, Florida pusley, morningglory, pigweed, wild mustard, ragweed, velvetleaf, and smartweed. Weeds taller than specified in the rate table will not be controlled. Apply Evik DF as a postemergence directed spray to weeds after the smallest corn is at least 12 inches tall (measured to the highest leaf surface on free-standing plants). Restriction: Do not spray over top of corn, or injury will occur. Do not apply within 3 weeks of tasseling. Apply in a minimum of 20 gal of water per acre to assure uniform coverage (nonpressure nitrogen solution may be substituted for all or part of the water). The entire weed must receive spray to be killed. Add a surfactant such as X-77®, DuPont WK, or Tronic at the rate of 2 qt/100 gal of spray mixture (0.5% of spray volume).

Evik DF Page 13 It is recommended that gauge wheels and/or leaf lifter equipment be used to prevent leaf contact with the spray. Drop nozzles may be used, but extreme care must be taken to keep the spray or drift from contacting the leaves and especially the whorl of the corn plant. Be sure the entire spray pattern is directed downward. Apply at a spray pressure of 30 psi or less to prevent “bounce back”—spray bouncing off soil or weeds and settling on corn leaves. Restriction: Do not make more than one application per year. Do not apply more than 2.0 lb Evik DF (1.58 lb ai) per acre per year. Use rates of application according to the following geographical areas: Area 1 Arizona Michigan Ohio California Minnesota Oregon Colorado Missouri Pennsylvania Connecticut Montana Rhode Island Idaho Nebraska South Dakota Illinois Nevada Utah Indiana New Hampshire Vermont Iowa New Jersey Washington Kansas New Mexico Wisconsin Maine New York Wyoming Massachusetts North Dakota Area 2 Alabama Louisiana Tennessee Arkansas Maryland Texas Delaware Mississippi Virginia Florida North Carolina West Virginia Georgia Oklahoma Kentucky South Carolina Rates of Application for Corn Broadcast Rate Per Acre Weed Height Weeds Controlled* Area 2 Area 1 Up to 2.0 inches Brachiaria and broadleaves 0.75 lb 2.0 lb Texas panicum fall panicum barnyardgrass goosegrass 1.25 lb crabgrass 2.0 lb foxtail 2.0 lb Partial Control 2.0 lb

For Crop Rotation: Small grains, such as wheat, oats, and rye, may be planted 3 months following the prescribed application. Spinach and potatoes may be planted after 10 months and all other crops 11 months following application to corn. Note: Allow 30 days after the application before harvesting, grazing, or feeding forage to livestock. Pineapple (Hawaii and Puerto Rico Only) For control of broadleaf and grass weeds including rattlebox (Crotalaria spp.), dallisgrass, goosegrass (Eleusine indica), Japanese tea, kukaipuaa and other crabgrass species (Digitaria spp.), paulea (sowthistle), common purslane, Richardia spp., spanishneedles, wild pea bean, Amaranthus spp., Flora’s paintbrush, foxtail, junglerice, fireweed, and Panicum spp., apply 2.0 lb of Evik DF per acre as a blanket spray immediately after planting and/or 2.0 lb of Evik DF per acre up to 160 days before harvest. For ratoon crops, apply 2.0 lb of Evik DF after previous crop harvest and before weeds emerge, followed by an optional second application of 2.0 lb of Evik DF up to 160 days prior to harvest. Apply in 20-40 gal of water per acre. Restrictions: (1) Do not apply more than 2.0 lb of Evik DF (1.58 lb ai) per acre in a single application. (2) Do not apply more than 4.0 lb of Evik DF (3.16 lb ai) per acre per year. (3) Do not make the last application within 160 days of harvest. (4) Do not apply more than 2 applications of Evik DF per year. Sugarcane To control weeds specified in the various states, apply Evik DF alone or in tank mix combinations. Broadcast aerially in a minimum volume of 5 gal of spray per acre, or broadcast or band by ground in a minimum of 20 gal/A, unless indicated otherwise. Repeat treatments, where needed, may be applied broadcast, band, or interline as prescribed, with final application prior to close in. For Crop Rotation

Evik DF Page 15 The following rotational crops may be planted after the last Evik DF application in sugarcane. State Crops to be Planted Minimum Rotation Interval (Months) FL Rice, Sweet Corn 4 Celery, Cole Crops, Leafy Vegetables, Radishes, Snap Beans 9 FL, HI, LA, TX Soybeans, Sorghum, Cotton 11 Aerial Application (Florida Only): Use aerial application only in Florida where broadcast applications are specified. Apply a minimum of 5 gal total volume per acre. Avoid applications under conditions where uniform coverage cannot be obtained or where excessive spray drift may occur. In order to assure that spray will be controllable within the target area when used according to label directions, make applications at a maximum height of 10 ft, using low-drift nozzles at a maximum pressure of 40 psi, and restrict application to periods when wind speed does not exceed 10 mph. To assure that spray will not adversely affect adjacent sensitive non-target plants, apply Evik DF alone by aircraft at a minimum upwind distance of 800 ft from sensitive plants. Florida: Apply 0.5-1.5 lb of Evik DF broadcast or directed to the base of plant or ratoon sugarcane to emerged weeds. Use a minimum of 20 gal of water per acre if applied by ground application. Avoid wetting sugarcane foliage, or injury may occur. Use nozzle tips which will minimize atomization or spray drift. Use the higher rate for high grass populations. After 30 days, one additional application may be made prior to close-in if needed. To control alexandergrass (Brachiaria plantaginea), apply at the 3 to 4-leaf stage or before 3 inches tall. For mixed weed infestations, use 1.5 lb of Evik DF plus 0.5 lb acid equivalent of 2,4-D amine per acre and/or 2 qt of surfactant, such as X-114 or ACL 209, for each 100 gal of spray to improve weed control. Observe all precautions and limitations on labeling of all products used in mixtures. Restriction (Florida): Do not apply more than 1.5 lb of Evik DF (1.18 lb ai) per acre in a single application. Do not exceed a total of 3.0 lb Evik DF (2.37 lb ai) per acre per crop cycle. Do not make more than two applications of Evik DF per year. Hawaii: Use one of the following methods in plant or ratoon sugarcane for control of ageratum, rattlebox (Crotalaria spp.), dallisgrass, fireweed, goosegrass (Eleusine indica), guineagrass, Japanese tea, kukaipuaa, and other crabgrass species (Digitaria spp.), morningglory, pualele (sowthistle), common purslane, Richardia spp., spanishneedles, wild pea bean, Amaranthus spp., Flora’s paintbrush, foxtail, junglerice, and swollen fingergrass.

1. Apply up to 3.0 lb of Evik DF per acre before weeds or sugarcane emerge. A second application, not to exceed 3 lb/A, may be made, if needed, approximately 30 days before close-in. If needed, a third application not to exceed 3 lb/A may be applied at close-in.

Evik DF Page 16 2. Apply 2.5-3.0 lb of Evik DF plus 2.5-5 lb of Karmex 80W before sugarcane and weeds emerge. A second application at 2.5-3.0 lb of Evik DF plus 2.5-5 lb of Karmex 80W may be made, as needed, postemergence to sugarcane and weeds. A third application at 2.5-3 lb of Evik DF plus 2.5-3 lb of Karmex 80W may be applied prior to close-in. For best results when Karmex 80W is used on emerged weeds, add a nonionic surfactant to the spray at the rate of 1-2 qt per 100 gal and apply as a directed spray. Restrictions (Hawaii): Use the minimum preemergence rates on nonirrigated sugarcane (high rainfall areas), on land first cropped to sugarcane, and for light weed infestations. Do not exceed a total of 9.0 lb of Evik DF (7.10 lb ai) per acre per crop cycle. Do not make more than three applications of Evik DF per year.
